ひゃひゃお – Escapist Drug [LYRICS]

I received a nice email from a “Мария Григорьева” thanking me for translating things, specifically “The Game of Death.” He/She didn’t really ask me to translate this song, but did hope that I would like it.

“Just what am I?”
I ask myself but it’s not like I have a reply
My phone’s battery dies
And the blackened screen becomes my mirror
It’d be fine if everything just disappeared
Eventually there’d be nothing left behind
An unacceptable miss; if I was to go back
I’d close up my ears with my headphones

So we dance; with the world as our partner we swing to the beat
And let our feelings of pleasure pour out
We don’t need anything
Now I’m ready to throw it all away
Something like a “dark future” would be fine
Or one broken into very small pieces
Now, in this shining mirror ball,
I entrust everything

The link between “definitely” and “maybe”
And the distinction between “surely” and “should be” doesn’t exist
The answer exists within “right” and “wrong”
But I keep pulling on the wrong one
“Oh, I’ve done it again”
These piled-high regrets are breaking my limits
After all, this question “Just what am I?”
What a stupid thought; I wallow in the answering of my own questions

So we dance; with the world as our partner we swing to the beat
And let our feelings of pleasure pour out
We don’t need anything
Now I’m ready to throw it all away
Something like a “dark future” would be fine
Or one broken into very small pieces
It feels like I’m being eaten alive
It’s destroying everything; it’s breaking me
